Welcome to the nightmare collection, a dozen of the most iconic creepy dolls and dummies featured in horror movies. Doll boxes are made to advertise the product inside of them... but would you buy any of these?

HalloweenCostumes.com put together the list, making sure to mention the dolls' first or main movie, the kill count for the original film, the dolls' evil origins, an interesting movie fact and other franchise movies that feature the doll.

The horror movie kill counts also account for all deaths in the original films, which may or may not be attributed to the doll itself. Let's face it, not every doll goes on a killing spree due to being the new body for the vengeful spirit of a dying serial killer. Ventriloquist dummies are also included because they're basically dolls with moving jaws.

Check out our collection of creepy doll boxes below...

The horror genre has several staples that are bound to give you the heebie-jeebies: jump scares, creepy kids, basements, isolated settings and creepy dolls. We'll be taking an exclusive look at horror movie dolls. What is it about dolls, ventriloquist dummies and mannequins that scare us? The fear of non-human but human-like things is called automatonophobia. Perhaps the unblinking, soulless eyes are unnerving. In a dark room, dolls can be mistaken for a lurking figure. Dolls can even be made to resemble a particular person, which often hits that uncomfortable spot in the uncanny valley. Whatever the case may be, scary dolls aren't about to stop appearing in horror films anytime soon, especially this year with movies like Annabelle Comes Home, the Child's Play reboot and Brahms: The Boy II. If you love niche horror and you're interested in delving into other creepy doll horror movies, we collected some of the most unsettling automatons in the movies for you.
